Rolex vs Tudor Submariner Watch & Behind The Scenes 2021 War Room Tour
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 тра 2021
- Today I share a behind-the-scenes tour of my latest War Room upgrades, a new Tudor for my collection, and thoughts on my favourite Rolex and Tudor Submariner watches.
We'll take a look at some collectable diecast airplanes, Lego sets, movies, antiques, must-have man cave accessories and tech. And we'll talk about the advantages and disadvantages of Rolex vs Tudor vintage Submariners like my current 79190. I also discuss my latest watch crush on the Rolex Submariner 16613 in blue, my watch collection goals, and the reason for my obsession with two-tone watches like the Datejust 16233 and Day-Date complications-like my Rolex "President" 18238 and Tudor Prince Date-Day 76213.
Join me for a fun look at the 2021 War Room, some very Urban Gentry watch collecting talk, and a special appearance from the sometimes devilish Hugo Mountbatten.

TGV : “you don’t need another watch. Stop thinking about watches”
Also TGV: Has the biggest and most well known watch channel on UA-cam
"Stop looking at watches and get back to work"
Looks at watch
Normally when I'm thinking like this going through Amazon the girl friend asks what I'm doing. To which i almost always say just looking at stuff. And then add watch to my wish list.
Hmmmm, I think a blue Submariner would be a temporary infatuation, scratch that itch if you absolutely have to but DON’T SELL YOUR TUDOR SUB!!
VERY good point. As such a value Gentry member and commentator, I will take your words with the upmost importance. Thank you Peter.
Best regards,
TGV
Given your infatuation with the military history and connections of your watches - selling your Tudor sub for the anti-tool-watch tool watch would be a mistake.
I think you will regret selling the Tudor Sub. You clearly love the brand, have a connection with the watch, and you acknowledge that it will be hard to replace it. Worse if you do sell it, face regret and replace it….. it won’t be THE watch you have used in so many videos. I think that will deepen the regret. If you want to pair down the collection there are probably a handful you could cut then use the cash for the two tone Rolex. That might be a better exercise. And if the two tone was a flight of fancy, you could sell it and apply the proceeds to other projects. You will still have achieved the culling exercise.
@@christianhudson9623 damn right
@@christopherprevost763 Couldn't agree more. Its a tool watch at it's beating heart and I'd always buy it in its rawest form.
The introduction of the introduction is quite relatable
Agreed 😂
100% 😅
'Relatable' 😂
That intro 😂 The struggle is real
The production quality of these videos is amazing, always a blast to watch
I think I have the perfect 3 watch collection: Watch 1 - Apple Watch, being a dyslexic school teacher, I couldn’t do my job without this watch, been using it for about 4 years, I can deal with emails set reminders and have reminders pop up through lessons to keep me right without using my phone. Also used as a beater watch when working out or in water. Watch 2 - Rolex Sub for all my out of school hours, saved for years to buy this for myself for my 30th, reminds me of the value of hard work and perseverance. My favourite and final watch is a Seiko 5 my wife gave me on our wedding day, I only wear this when we go out together.
Anyone think this collection is missing anything? I can’t think of anything else I need that another watch could give me.
Love and peace guys!
I can’t help but recall how many times you’ve worn your Tudor Sub in your previous videos and talking about how perfect it is.
Shamefully very true. I can't deny!!!!
You are so right, it is perfect.
Thank you for reminding me, I needed that.
Best regards,
TGV
DONT SELL IT!!!
DONT BE LIKE EVERYONE ELSE!!!
@@theurbangentry keep the Tudor, don't waste money on a Rolex.
Omg, TGV! This was the best intro by far, imo.
The same scenario goes through my mind so often 🤣
TGV, your intro is the best on youtube hands down. I really enjoyed the war room walk around.
Keep the Tudor Sub. I have the 114060 and 116613LB. It's a killer 2 piece meal deal hunger buster combo. Day/Night. Summer Spring/Fall Winter. A bit of flash/Stealth. A SS black sub and bluesy compliment each other. I have always worn a gold chain since early teens. I now wear my Dad's 14K Crucifix with my Grandma's wedding ring diamond mounted on it. My watch collection is TT heavy because of this, 5 of 9 are TT. If you wear gold, TT just makes sense.
Like you, I was mesmeized by the bluesy thumbing through NG mags in school and at my dentist's office. Was also mesmerized by King Tut's death mask. This color combo is striking. I bought a nice lapis lazuli bracelet to wear on the other arm with it. The bluesy is a perfect Summer watch. It sings in the sun. Some of those purple dial 5 digits are awesome. The added weight of the gold does make the Sub feel better. And to be honest, I prefer it, over the SS Sub. I still catch myself looking at it like I did when I first got it. It is the only watch in my collection that has gotten compliments.
New Video!! clicked as fast as possible. The war room is what I aspire to have once I'm older. I feel like it's just a whole time machine. It transports you to so many decades through the books, posters, artwork, watches, etc... truly amazing TGV looks awesome once again! - Guillermo
Best intro ever? Man! The quality on this one was next level!
I wouldn’t sell the Tudor sub. The two tone sub is a great watch but lacks the versatility of a black submariner. I’d sell the day date and the datejust and try to make up the rest! I had your problem before tgv. I bought a watch box with 20 compartments and told my self that’s the limit. Still going strong although watching this channel makes it difficult 🤣
Haha, thank you Luke, I really appreciate that.
Sorry for the temptations, if it males you feel any better, I have the same effect on myself! 😂😂😂
Anyways, enjoy it.
Best regards,
TGV
The introduction is basically my daily conversation with myself
Very entertaining intro. Loved it.
Thanks for that tour in your war room. Much interesting stuff without a doubt.
Great Video TGV, can’t beat a tour of the war room!! Good luck with the consolidations!! Always exciting to be watch shopping!!! All the best.. BMJ ENGLAND 🏴
TGV you are my hero, I feel very identified with your videos, I really like when you talk about the war room and show a little bit of your life style, thanks! 👌🏽
Keep the TUDOR sub! That's the sub to have.
Unlike the Rolex it is not pretentious and Tudor was the true Frogman watch out of the two of them
Top video. Great to hear the 2yr review on the TDR Sub and in such a nice studio!!
omg this intro was the most reeeelatable thing bahahha!
All I can say is, I have owned a blue Rolex sub 16613 since new in 1997. After all these years, I have never tired of it. It’s the perfect mix of dressy and sporty. I’ve worn it in the ocean and I’ve worn it to weddings with a suit. I have over 50 watches in my collection, but that is one I’ve never, ever considered parting with.
I absolutely love the war room tours ! Great video TGV, I hope you are well.
Thank you John :D
Best regards,
TGV
Really enjoyed the war room tour!!
Loved the episode, very fresh.... congratulations
I’m so envious of your war room TGV!
FYI recently acquired a 2021 Explorer, my favorite watch by far. Purchase inspired by your videos;)
Great video TGV! Thanks for the war room tour! Working from home for a year I’ve made a few changes to my home office/war room as well. My job has nothing to do with watches, but i have 5 to 6 watches, a few straps, and a winder on my standing desk. For a clock I use a wind-up Russian submarine clock that keeps amazing time! I’m also a bit of a pocket knife collector so i keep many of those on a shelf nearby as well. Keep up the great work Sir!
Just an absolutely top notch show! Enjoyed every bit of it.
TGV your new intro is dope. Keep these reviews coming! Cheers buddy.
My favorite watch channel on UA-cam handsdown !
Wow! Great Job!! Your videos are always so interesting! The intros with all these images related to past and present days, art and mechanics, fading one into the other, and the music, reminds me of The opening credits of TV Series "The Persuaders"! I really hope you've seen it once in your life! Roger Moore and Tony Curtis... I love LEGO, since I was a kid, at that time there were only red and white bricks (green for the roof of the house), but there were TENTE bricks to build ships and sci-fi machines with round bricks! I think many of us bought the "new" LEGO for their kids, to play with them. I really love SCI-Fi Movies, from "the day the earth stood still" 1951 until Star Trek Picard, passing through Dune, Stingray and The Clockwork Orange! If you love knives too, you should consider a "vernantin" Italian hand made knife from Vernante, in Piedmont, or a "Pattada" from Sardegna. ;-)
Me on Twitter: "I cleaned up my study."
Guy on Twitter: "What´s a study?"
Me: "Well besides desk, computer and piano there is mostly car and plane models and LEGOs in there..."
Guy: "Now we are talking."
;-)
Fabulous tour. Thanks for the insight 👍
What a classy show!! Excellent Video, Without a doubt the most Classy grounded and true horologist !! Love all the history reference and the presentations!
Cool vid, thanks as always TGV. At 8:44, is that, could it be, the iconic Vince Guaraldi Trio of A Charlie Brown Christmas fame?? Lovely music that sounds just like it.
Thank you for the tour!
23:56 I had the same thought when I bought my Invicta Pro Diver 8928 LOL🤣🤣. Great video and I hope you make the right decision for you!
Amazing introduction!
Congratulations TGV!
All the best!
Thank you for sharing. Good bit of kit there.
Hi TGV, this video takes me back to the original Gentry. Great 👍
The Catalina is an awesome plane! I got the chance to fly in one, before it was sadly sold to another country. Skimming the water at over 100 k/h almost felt like a rollercoaster ride.
I love this type of videos Tristano.
Another great video, TGV, and the intro was very relatable! I’m actually saving for the Tudor BB58 blue for my high school graduation next year. Have been saving for a year and my local AD has it, so I’ll be very excited to add that to my collection which consists of a Seiko Skx007j and a Marathon TSAR from my father. Hopefully I can email you some pictures of it when I get it! Have a good one. (Also I hope Yema sends you one of their MN watches to review!!) 😀👍
Your tour was amazing.
I will give you credit on the fact that you really are ahead of the trends or going in your own direction watch collecting wise ….and that is pretty cool …watches id normally not look twice at,have all the sudden sparked an interest wether through the in depth description or beautiful videography and editing work ….whatever the case …you have opened up segments that I’d previously turned a blind eye to,,,so for that ….cheers
Great video my good man. Appreciated the “cuwcha”. As a Londoner this made me chuckle. All the best, and keep up the great work mate.
Had to think about that one...until I heard it. >ding
Second! Was hoping something would come soon. Thanks TGV!
Brovo TGV your intros man they're next level 😆😆👏🏼👏🏼
Thank you Sam 😀🙏🙏
Best regards,
TGV
Another great video, I love that intro! I really do like that Tudor sub. I personally would not sell it. Best of luck to you my friend.
Miguel
Terrific video, thanks.
The new intro is splendid!
The new intro at 2.28 is 🔥💥❤️🔥
I just hovered around this video and i had no need to watch it all i already know i going to like it. You should do more videos like these whenever you feel like it, Cheers
"Knife in the water" Absolute classic! Best regards TGV :-)
Great 76213, tgv. I remember in one of your older videos you said those had been discontinued 😉
Really enjoy your channel, your positivity is infectious. Even when you don’t care for something you still have many good things to say about the subject, that’s a rare quality for a UA-cam channel… keep the Tudor Sub, I can promise that you will kick yourself for letting it go.
Great Video! May I ask where you got that aftermarket jubilee?
Well I love seeing the war room! Especially how I remember previous bits and bobs from years gone by!
1stly;) the Seiko clock is saying 3:55am!!!! Poor wife needs the sleep surely!!!;)
2nd I thought I was the only one with a Garth Merenghi’s Darkplace DVD!!
Great show!
Excellent video, TGV. Love the war room tour ....great to see some of the old favorites and the new pieces you have added. The new Sega, matching Swatch, and layout all look to be fantastic modifications. As for the selling of the Tudor to fund a two tone Rolex Sub......I would wait and make sure that is really what you want.....the two tone you mention is a incredibly awesome piece, probably the only two tone sub I’d ever consider. BUT.... the Tudor sub you have is much more iconic, has much more personal importance with the rose, military importance, serviceability, you listed all the reasons. If you sell to fund a Rolex you will be losing one piece that is neither here or there PLUS one that has MASSIVE importance to you and would be damn near impossible to replace.....all to fund a purchase of a Rolex Submariner.....granted your MAY not lose much money if any on the Sub, but the piece won’t have anywhere near the significance that your Tudor does. My two cents. I’d consider selling the other one sure, and maybe saving the rest of the cash for the two tone ....then after you have had the two tone a bit make the decision which Sub to get rid of then.....I’d bet the Rolex would find the door before the vintage Tudor did...anyway. Best of luck with the decision. Onward and upward!
I actually have that same seiko world clock. Never seen anyone else have it until I stared watching/following your channel.
I went and watched The American after your last video and now need to watch The Killer. Maybe you can do more movie recommendations along the way? I always enjoy visiting with you.
Lol I did the same and it was a great movie.. I agree, he needs to do more movie suggestions
The outro is dope 🔥
Where did you source the aftermarket jubilee bracelet? Thinking of doing the same with my date day
Very cool and fun video today!
What a brilliant intro.. I know the feeling!!🤣
I love that intro but it simply doesn't match that hip hop intro you got. It's so damn cool with all the editing skills you got! You're always an awesome channel TGV!
Bro I would love it if you filmed yourself building that lego set. If anything it would be a nice change of pace and at most a fun video! :)
Thanx for the tour TGV... As you always say.... Buy what you love... Good luck on the hunt... Happy Memorial Day. 🥃🍷🥃
Great vid TGV! Valet trey, nice ! :)
Loved the swatch wall watch, handles not on 10/10, sorry for my ocd hah!
Hello, the Tudor 76213 Date Day might be my first luxury watch owing to its ETA based movement and low cost of service, however, I don’t like the strap that comes with the watch, can you please tell us which jubilee bracelet are you using for your 76213? I’m sure that the aftermarket bracelet came with its own clasp but have you interchanged the clasps of the stock bracelet and the aftermarket one so that the Tudor shield appears on the aftermarket clasp?
Definitely turning my study into a war room these summer holidays! I’d like some lovely watches to go in it too.......
Yesssss 😎🥂
Please let me know how it goes.
Best regards,
TGV
That new intro and that music fit incredibly well.
It’s about a year since subscribing to your channel and your videos have been such a great guide to watches! Thank you TGV 🙌
Thank you so much Josh, welcome aboard, I am happy to have you in the Gentry!
Best regards,
TGV
I have been trying to "consolidate" my watch collection for the past 30 years. You are chasing unicorns TGV !
What can I say?! I like your videos even before watching them. 🙏🏻🙌🏻
Tristano, what's that little piano riff I've heard so many times that you use for (transitions) from one aesthetic to another. (Here you've got it on just after the discourse about the Swatch NOS.)
Spotted Lady Snowblood. Maiko Kaji's music is amazing
TGV, what jubilee is that on the Tudor Date Day? Looking for something similar.
My cousin had the two tone Sub, it screamed Del Boy!!!!
Keep the Tudor sub, too cool for school.
Also that day date rocks.
Love the episode, cheers T G V. 👍🏴
Great to see another war room tour TGV! As for the watch dilemma, I would sit with it for a while and see if your desire for the two-tone is still there after a few weeks. It takes a lot of restraint but I sometimes do that to gauge whether I'm just lusting after a watch versus actually desiring it. I've noticed I hold onto the ones I've determined I truly desire, while the ones I've bought due to lust have been sold.
Excellent point, I will certainly take your wise advice,
Thank you my friend, I would expect nothing less from you.
Best regards,
TGV
Im new to the hobby and one of the major reasons for subscribing to your channel is how you educate on the history of the watches. Can you please do a video of must read watch history books for people getting into the hobby. Just love learning about it and would like to have a book collection as part of the hobby as well. Great video again. Keep em coming.
Dude, what is the music in the intro? It sounds awesome! Cheers
TGV your intros are just top notch quality and so entertaining!!! NOOOO you must keep the Tudor. I personally wanted a 70’s sub with more a vintage look, however that was out of my budget so with the help of another enthusiast i managed to get a strap made from a genuine WW2 Swiss army pistol carrier for my blue Pelagos. Scratched that itch perfectly and now has a great story to which will live on through my family in years to come!.
Another “Certified Pure Class” vid. TGVs on top because he Does His own thing.
Such a big fan of these type of videos TGV! Top drawer as always. Curious to know what Hugo’s conscience would look like 🦖
LOL omg I dread to imagine!!!
Thank you Andy, great comment.
Best regards,
TGV
What a great and creative intro Tristan
I'm always looking forward to the intros 😂😂
That Intro😭🤣it s 100% my problem too🤣
I like the dim glowing titanic I wish you would have mentioned it. But what’s done is done haha, Love the Channel and your hard work In creating creative content. Thank you sir!
I talked about the Queen Mary at the beginning of this video ;-)
Thank you for the support and kind words, it is always deeply appreciated!
Best regards,
TGV
Go for it! Two tone AZZURRO Blue Sub is your calling. LOL Globe spinning the wrong way 😂 Great Video! 👍 will defo check out the SkyLight! 😯
Good evening TGV! The Tudor Submariner and the DayDate is a great Duo! I love the TwoTone-look of the DayDate, and the TwoTone Sub is a classy piece. Have a great evening!
I bought the Carl Friedrik wallet a few years ago when it was featured on UG......great wallet! Has held up very well.
Omg that intro and music absolutely class.! The kippers knickers 🐟🩲
Thank you my friend, it took weeks to find the right score for the new 2021 channel intro, I am so glad you enjoy it too.
Best regards,
TGV
@@theurbangentry You absolutely nailed it (to be fair, the music you choose for your watch reviews is always on point). Very few people match music to content and you’re a master. Thanks for the content.
No words, just thank you 🙏 😊 I am deeply honored.
I have a 1989 duo-tone Chronomat. I bought it with a stainless steel case, black dial with gold subdials, gold crown, gold pushers, gold rider tabs, and gold screws on the bezel. As part of an overhaul 10 years ago, I had the dial replaced with a black one with white subdials, had all the gold components replaced with stainless steel, and had a new orange second hand installed. When I originally bought the watch I loved the duo-tone. I still think it looked very good then but now I prefer the all-steel version with its more sincere tool watch feel. As for more dressy watches, duo-tone can look great and a bit more subdued than all-gold.
My collection is made up entirely of sub $200 Seikos, Citizens, Invictas, Casios and Vostoks. Each has a distinctive look, as I've tried hard to not have watches that all look the same. Enjoy your new watch TGV! Cheers my friend.
Love the intro and outro music and images-so cool! Have you seen the movie “Hard to be a God.” I feel like you would enjoy the aesthetic. And go for the Bluesy!
The bluesy with the aluminum bezel is my favorite watch but I’ll be putting it on a rubber strap for the summer.
Brilliant video. Epic 👍
Do you have the Omega special edition catalog celebrating the moon watch ?
I just bought the new 126613LB and it is blinding! I'll try get a review video up soon. Good luck with the pre-ceramic 👍🏻
What’s the song that you started playing at 8:44? I dunno if I’ve just heard it in other videos on here or something but that piano melody sounds so familiar
I'm thinking of buying the yema superman diver watch. Seen your video on it and really wana get my hands on one. Would like to try one on first but have no idea where they are sold.
